Check out these wind gusts!

Wind gusts have exceed tropical storm force tonight! This graphic represents the wind speed (and gusts) at 10pm CDT.

We took a power hit around 9:30 here at the WREX-TV studios. While the entire neighborhood was in the dark, our generator kicked on and we were back to 100% within a minute.

No doubt, some trees and branches will be missing from tree trunks tonight. Do you have any outages/trees downed? Send us some pictures to apainter@wrex.com then watch the morning show!

Good news, the wind will subside in the next few hours.

Wow! Did we ever have the wind here in Rockton last night! My patio furniture ended up all over the place. What a mess...sure wish we could have gotten more rain out of that system.
